Closet Before and After

My children are messy. It's tough for me because I'm not. Last week dd and I tackled her closet. Since our chaotic moves last fall, things just never got put into order because life happens. Thank goodness for summer vacation. As you can see in the above photo things were just thrown into her closet....


...and now things are neat and orderly. We labeled clear shoeboxes, using my Dymo Lectratag, with the names of her small toys and sorted them accordingly. I also labeled baskets for books and coloring books. The pink bin holds all the baby dolls and the green bin holds assorted toys. We ended up with two bags to donate to St. Vincent DePaul's Thrift store. I'm so glad that job is done! I hope it stays this way.

Blessings,

Getting Photos Organized

I'm always trying to organize things to make life a bit simpler for me. I bought the Cropper Hopper Photo Storage Box sometime last year from QVC. Today while cleaning up my scrapbooking/card making supplies, I decided that I should finally organize the photos that were in piles all over the table into the plastic envelopes and put them inside the storage box. What a freeing activity! I feel so much better that my photos are arranged by topic and/or date and will be easy to pull out when I'm ready to scrapbook them. Here it is with the filled cases:

I'm so tickled that I accomplished this activity. I'm also working on organizing my scrapbook paper, stickers and embellishments by theme. It's starting to come together.

Have a day full of blessings,
